Is this programme right for you?
Who this is for
This is a good fit for AI professionals, data scientists, IT managers, AI project managers, people responsible for risk and compliance, AI strategists, and decision-makers who need to combine a technical and a management view.
Who this is not for
This is not the right fit if you are looking for training in one specific programming language or an entry-level "AI tools for office work" course, if you only need to implement or audit the ISO/IEC 42001 standard (see the ISO/IEC 42001 tracks instead), if you are not ready to work in English, or if you expect five weeks to give you a complete ML engineering or data-science specialisation.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the ISO/IEC 42001 tracks?
CAIP gives a broad, end-to-end view of AI (data analysis, machine learning, deep learning, ethics, strategy). The ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Implementer track teaches you to implement an AI management system, and Lead Auditor teaches you to audit it.
What language is the programme taught in?
Materials and tests are in English; at least an intermediate level of English is needed.
How much time per week does this take?
90 academic hours in total across 5 weeks: live sessions plus independent work at your own pace.
Does EVK issue the PECB credential?
No. Preparation + PECB credential after the certification body's own requirements – Ettevõtluskeskus provides the preparation, PECB issues its own credential once you meet its own requirements.
Do I need programming experience?
Basic data-analysis and programming knowledge is helpful, but lacking programming experience together with an understanding of the basics does not rule out taking part.
What do I need to take part?
A computer, a webcam, a stable internet connection, and headphones with a microphone.
How does mentoring work?
Interactive online lectures and mentor-led group work; 1:1 mentoring is available if needed.
